My Attempt At Painting: Fallout Wasteland Warfare - The Tabletop Hub

Today I’m going to go through my attempt at painting the Super Mutants from the Fallout Wasteland Warfare Core Set.

Now if you’re new to my projects the ‘My Attempt at Painting’ series is really for the amateur and beginner painter out there, I’m still learning how to paint miniatures well myself and my hope is that as you watch these videos and read through these guides it’ll inspire you to pick up a brush and get painting and hopefully we’ll both learn from each other along the way.

Today we’re painting the Super Mutants that you’ll find in the core set for Fallout Wasteland Warfare and while I’m not totally pleased with how the armour came out on these miniatures I am much happier with the skin tones as I feel they’re much closer to what we’d see in Fallout 4.

So first of all I took some Army Painters Ash Grey and painted some of the shoulder pieces of armour, I equally wanted to mix things up a little bit, the Super Mutants tend to scavenge their armour from whatever they can find and so there can be a bit of a mix and match look to it, so next I took some Army Painters Electric Blue and Army Green and applied that to some other random pieces of armour also.

Next I took some Army Painters Leather Brown and applied that to the wooden stock of the Super Mutants Pipe Rifle and then took some Army Painters Dry Rust Effect paint and gave the armour a dry brush, I feel I applied too much of the effect paint though because once we get to the finished look the different paints that were used on the armour are almost indistinguishable so if you’re doing this do consider applying sparsely.

Next I took Army Painters Army Green and began painting the skin of the Super Mutant.

I then took Army Painters Leather Brown and applied this to the clothing of the Super Mutants and applied some Army Painters Skeleton Bone to the skulls that you’ll see adorning some of the models.

Once this was all done I took Citadels Agrax Earthshade and gave the entire model a coating.

Once this was dried I took Army Painters Gunmetal and dry brushed the armour and the weapons to give them a brushed metal look.

As for the base it was very simple, I applied Necromancers Cloak from Army Painter to the road surfaces, Army Painters Monster Brown to the dirt, Army Painters Oak Brown to the wooden planks and finally Dungeon Grey from Army Painter to any bricks or kerbs that were on the bases.

I then applied Citadels Nuln Oil to the base to bring out some of the cracks and definition on the base itself.

And folks that was it, I think out of all three of the Mutants, the least armoured mutant is the one I’m most pleased with because we see more of his skin. I do feel the work I did on the armour of the other two really adds to much rust and brown to the mini and I think I’ll be less generous with this in the future.
